okay so yesterday i saw my strongest plant stat to wilt, i know i aint overwatering or underwatering. i thought maybe it was just resting and it would jump up after a day. well today i checked and it got worst. i was inspecting my leafs and...

I noticed kinda a white dot patern all in the "meat" of the leafs, the green between the veins. kinda like somethings been sucking the juice, but its not...i inspected closer with a microscope and there these very small like 1-2mm line things crawling on my leafs. and white dots i expect to be eggs. i dont know if theyre thrips, i dont have a microscope and cant see that close. there just little white worm like things crawling and laying eggs on my leafs, maybe even feeding on them???

any ideas what this is??? my pic cant take a close enough picture without being blurry. and its very hard to spot, you gotta be right up to the leaf.

i sprayed a perythrins based killer on all the leafs, was that a good idea? will it kill them???

EDIT: these things crawl slow, i didnt see any jumps/ move fast. well idk they might crawl fast for their size, but to me it looks slow, even when i put my fingers by them. i wanted to see if theyd jump or run which i heard thrips do but i didnt see any of that?? ill inspect closer in a bit after i let the perythrins sit. ive also just defeated fungus gnats and now this...is it possible its their larvae? i heard they lay it in the soil though...so idk...
i would appreciate any help...

oh and there kinda clearish/whiteish

I just had a gnat problem, that couldn't be what you've got they feed on roots as larvae. Check google?....
yeh i know they feed on dieing plant matter or if that isnt present healthy root matter.

do you have any ideas what these crawlers are?? is spraying prethryins all over the leafs safe? i just did that i think itll kill them.

they might be thrips.

What he said. Watch out what your spraying, depending on how late you are into flowering. If you are within 2-3 weeks of harvest id stick it out.
lol i wouldnt spray in flower, it even says on the thing "do not spray in bloom" its like 2weeks veg. thank god :)

thanks for the heads up anyway i appreciate it.

Spider mites. If you are growing in an enclosed area like a tent or a closet, buy some NO PEST STRIPS, hang them in your grow area, turn off your fans and watch the little bastards die.

if my perythrins based killer doesnt work (its organic, made from chrysthathinum flower or something) ill pick some up, i heard alot of good reviews about organicide. ive had success with the stuff i used before on mites so i think itll work.
